| Yesterday I, And today I
|
| Yesterday I, And today I
|
| Alright, Alright I ain’t getting out of bed today
|
| 9 to 5 to survive, there’s gotta be a better way
|
| Waking up early to punch in the clock
|
| How I’m lookin grown man with my lunch in a box
|
| But my kids need socks and shoes,
|
| I’m walking through the office (boss yelling)
|
| Who you talking to don’t you know on the streets I would’ve
|
| Never mind, The past is the past I gotta leave it behind
|
| But man back on the block I was a bonafide hustler
|
| Spot popping off until the police rushed us
|
| Handcuffed us I though I was gone
|
| Could’ve cried thinking now I’d miss my son being born
|
| But I was blessed, beat the case now I’m trying to reform
|
| But this white folks make it so hard to move on
|
| You gotta jump through hoops, anger management groups
|
| But the fact I’m still standin here today is proof that
|
| (Chorus)
|
| Yesterday I, Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn’t take it,
|
| They said I couldn’t make it
|
| And Today I, Feelin brand new, I got nothing to lose, I’m bout to make moves
|
| Yesterday I, Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn’t take it, I fought until
|
| I made it
|
| And Today I, Feelin brand new, I got nothing to lose, get out my way move
|
| On to the next, It was all about sex
|
| When I first met my little baby girl Annette
|
| She was standing at the bus stop, sucking on a lollipop
|
| Eyes collard green lean thicker than a pork chop
|
| (Stop) Cause I don’t eat swine
|
| But this girl was so devine, that I had to make her mine
|
| Called upon her a few times, she thought I was funny
|
| Fell for it like a dummy, It was all for the money
|
| (J-eah) Growing up in the hood,
|
| You would think I’d understand, But I never understood
|
| Why she rarely came around when my dough wasn’t good
|
| Now you can call it puppy love, cause I got dogged out
|
| Now in all my notebooks, I got her name crossed out
|
| But she lost out, I just lost profit
|
| When she left me in the cold, heart broke like my pockets and
|
| (Chorus)
|
| Yesterday I, Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn’t take it,
|
| They said I couldn’t make it
|
| And Today I, Feelin brand new, I got nothing to lose, I’m bout to make moves
|
| Yesterday I, Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn’t take it, I fought until
|
| I made it
|
| And Today I, Feelin brand new, I got nothing to lose, get out my way move
|
| You know the days when you just got the blues
|
| All stressed and depressed from just watching the news
|
| No matter what good you do, it seems you always get screwed
|
| Got you caught up in your feelings, now you off in a mood
|
| Shake that attitude and do what you can
|
| Set a couple goals, follow through with your plans
|
| Time wait for no man, and tomorrows not promised
|
| So if she’s still alive shoot a call to your momma
|
| Cause the fighting and the drama, its just not worth it
|
| Nobodies perfect ain’t none of us worthless
|
| We all got a place and we all got a purpose
|
| Now I’m not taking y’all to Sunday service
|
| But you clap your hands as you stand up and work it
|
| Like you grandmomma used to do that fan down at worship
|
| Spread it, pop it, and wave it in my face
|
| Put your hands around your waist,
|
| Let me rock it to the bass like
|
| (Chorus)
|
| Yesterday I, Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn’t take it,
|
| They said I couldn’t make it
|
| And Today I, Feelin brand new, I got nothing to lose, I’m bout to make moves
|
| Yesterday I, Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn’t take it, I fought until
|
| I made it
|
| And Today I, Feelin brand new, I got nothing to lose, get out my way move |
